Background

Appearance

Meiya looks healthy for her age and is average with her height at 5'5". She wears her red hair in twintails, which tends to stand out along with her pale green eyes. Her arms and legs are covered in the scars of extensive surgery. She tends to wear a faint smile at all times. She prefers skirts over pants for the ease of removal. When wearing her plugsuit, she tends to wear a simple hospital gown.

Personality

Despite the harsh reality that Evangelion pilots face, Meiya remains cheerful. Her strict upbringing tends to reveal itself in how she addresses her elders and peers. She tends to be enthusiastic about piloting due to her condition. In truth, her cheerfulness is partly a facade. The wounds she took from her last sortie hurt her pride and self-worth. To her, the only future she can have is as an Evangelion pilot. She does not entertain romantic prospects though she has gained an interest in her life after high school. It's unlikely NERV would keep her around forever, so a science degree may get her a place at near an Eva. She's well aware that the happy years of her life may not last long, so she'll do her best to enjoy them.

History

Meiya never knew her parents. She was raised in a NERV laboratory, participating in gene therapy experiments and a human enhancement project. White coats, children in hospital gowns, needles, tables, she saw the sort of things that usually happened in movies. Children shifted in and our of the program and Meiya left at the age of eight for NERV-03. She received informal training there while being groomed for her eventual fate as an Eva pilot. The staff were far more compassionate than the scientists at the lab but made sure to be strict with her.

Two years ago, the first attack by an angel occurred, in Germany. Meiya was deployed in her just-functioning Evangelion. It was the experience that every Evangelion pilot faced at least once in their lives, knowing it wasn't just another synch test as the LCL filled the plug, knowing it wasn't going to be another sim and the pain would be real. Armed with any weapon NERV-03 had ready, she and another incomplete Evangelion unit, also piloted by a fresh pilot, faced the angel together. Meiya doesn't remember much about the battle, only its closing moments. With the other Eva unit down, the angel had focused on Meiya. It tore off her unit's limbs one by one and the feedback caused her to black out.

Meiya woke to the sight of the rescue team as they lowered her to a stretcher. The wounds she sustained left her crippled. It took a year of surgeries to repair the damage. Though she regained use of her arms and legs, she suffers from chronic pain in her limbs, particularly her legs. It was enough to confine her to a wheelchair. After another year of rehabilitation, Meiya had her first synch test since the attack. She could still pilot Evas and NERV reluctantly allowed her to pilot due to the precedent set by Alice Hartmann's case. Meiya has spent the last few months waiting for her new Eva unit.

Unique traits

Soul

Invasive

The Eva's personality is so strong, it can affect the pilot. After every battle, the she must roll Willpower. If she fails, during the night she is plagued by dreams or fragments of memory from someone else. By morning, she has gained 1d5 Insanity Points, but her Synch Ratio has increased by 1.

Mutation

Extra Eyes

The Evangelion has six eyes. It's increased sense of sight grants it a +3 to Ballistic Skill, and once per round the pilot may reroll a failed Awareness Test.

Construction

Marker Light Array

The Evangelion gains a free Marker Light upgrade on one of its wings. This operates as the weapon upgrade, but takes up a wing slot.

History

Patchwork

The Evangelion was made from a patchwork of failed prototypes, dummy bodies, and duct tape. It works, but its Toughness is reduced by 10. However, the wealth of spare parts on hand means no additional collateral is incurred when it loses a limb.
